Merge tag 'vfs-6.13.rust.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs rust file abstractions from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the file abstractions needed by the Rust implementation
of the Binder driver and other parts of the kernel.
Let's treat this as a first attempt at getting something working but I
do expect the actual interfaces to change significantly over time.
Simply because we are still figuring out what actually works. But
there's no point in further theorizing. Let's see how it holds up with
actual users"
